Yes.
The reality is as you just said, of course. Not only is the population aging, but there's also the fact that, in our industry, we are all competing to attract the same talent, the same expertise, whether it's my clients, my competitors or others.
For us, it was important to start exploring ways to address this issue and identify potential solutions. We began seeking to diversify our workforce and determine where to get it. We're looking for talent that may be younger. We're collaborating with several universities and even high schools, for instance, where we can establish a presence. We can give them a glimpse of what Hitachi Energy Canada does and the industry we're in, to spark interest in a younger demographic and develop that talent.
We also want to recruit people from other industries. It's a matter of figuring out how we can bring them into our industry and diversify our workforce. Their learning curve may be a little longer because they're not in the energy industry, but we need to start thinking outside the box, because, as I said earlier, we all depend on the same resources. So we need to start considering that diversification, and it's working well.
For example, at our Varennes plant, which you may remember, we discussed precisely this training that we were doing to recruit people from elsewhere, from other industries, and bring them into our industry and train them. That's what we're doing as well. We've set up various training centres. We have a training centre in Varennes as well as in Stoney Creek, Ontario.
In fact, we're laying the groundwork for the future for our internal resources. I think it's important to raise one point: Any program that can support this kind of workforce diversification is important.
